BSNL is reportedly offering up to four months of free broadband service to those who are using its landline, Bharat Fibre, and digital subscriber line (DSL). The same offer is also valid for Broadband over Wi-Fi (BBoWiFi) customers.
TelecomTalk reported that the offer is available all over India, but there is a catch. Customers will be able to avail of this free broadband service only if they pay 36 months of rental at once. The subscribers will then get free service for a total of 40 months at a charge of 36 months, as per the cited source.
The offer is also applicable for BSNL landline and Broadband over Wi-Fi subscribers across India. Separately, BSNL has regularised its Bharat Fibre plans across all its circles, except the Andaman and Nicobar areas. BSNL’s Bharat Fibre offers fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) broadband service starting at a price of Rs 449 per month. According to a report by TelecomTalk, BSNL is giving four months for free broadband service to its Bharat Fibre, DSL, landline, and BBoWiFi customers on paying 36 months of rental. This brings a total of 40 months of service at a charge of 36 months.
Customers can avail of the offer by calling toll free number 1800003451500 or visiting their nearest customer care centre, as detailed on the BSNL site.
It is important to note that BSNL originally offered the free broadband service offer in its Maharashtra circle in February last year, though it seems to be now available on a pan-India basis.
Gadgets 360 has reached out to BSNL for clarity on the offer and will update this article when the company responds.
Alongside the free service offer, BSNL has regularised Bharat Fibre broadband plans to give the same rental offerings across the country, except the Andaman and Nicobar circle. KeralaTelecom reports that the change is applicable to all Bharat Fibre plans that start from Rs. 449 and go up to Rs. 1,499. The operator is also said to have discontinued the existing Disney+Hotstar Premium plan.
